1030 model A sedan
I'm looking to purchase a 1930 model A sedan but I've heard that there are are two versions one is a rare shorty version how do you tell the difference? Does anyone know the wheel base distance? The spare tire is on the driver's front fender.

There is no rare shorty unless it is custom built. All wheel bases are the same for cars.

The two subcontractors built similar bodies but each company had characteristics that set them apart from each other. Most notable are the shapes of the door window openings on some bodies in the 1929 thru 1930 time frame and beyond. Briggs had a relatively flat sided rectangular window openings all the way around and Murray types have an arch shape to the top of the door window openings. Briggs made all the 2-window types from 1928 to early 1931 when the slant windshield types came out. Last edited by rotorwrench; 03-15-2023 at 10:22 AM. |
